4 Ways to Capture Special Moments with Photos

Your Personal Photographer

Of course you want staged, professional pictures as well as action shots during the reception. Your photographer is the one to depend on for that. Take some time with your photographer and interview them well ahead of time. Look at their portfolios and see what their style is. Choosing the right style of photography is essential. You’ll want some casual shots as well. I love pictures that are unexpected like the bride and groom walking down a road from behind. Or the bride with her shoes kicked off and tennis shoes on instead. You’ll want to make sure they capture some candid shots at the reception as well.

Photo Montage on the Big Screen

Many brides will create a photo montage of them and their fiancé. If you don’t know how to do this, you can always enlist a friend to create a powerpoint for you. There are some software programs that will also virtually do it for you! The point is you have these photos looping on the screen throughout the reception. You can set it to music and let it be the first thing that plays before the bridal party arrives. Or you can have it without music and just let it keep looping. It’s a style value add and people enjoy it.

The Flash Cube

The FlashCube is an interactive and contemporary twist on event photography. Guests capture their own black and white images with The FlashCube, which pulses a soft and flattering light on its subjects. The photographs are not only instantly printed out as souvenirs for you or your guests, but they are also displayed in a slideshow format that can range from 42 inches up to 20 feet in size. The continuously evolving slideshow provides entertainment for guests throughout the event. This is a grand idea for corporate events as well as weddings.

Cameras on the Tables

Although this idea has been around awhile, placing disposable cameras are a very fun way to get candid pics of your guests. The only thing is sometimes people forget to use them. You may want to designate someone to be the person who goes around and reminds people they are there and gets people snapping away! With disposable cameras you never know what you’re going to get but that is part of the surprise.

Although your photography is usually a big investment, after the flowers fade, your photos and memories are what you have left of your special day! Give thought to what you most want pictures of and customize several options so that you are ensured of amazing memories captured in action!
